Chapter 672 Impressed with you all

Although the heater inside An Qing was turned on, the temperature inside the conference room seemed to have dropped drastically.

Guo Rong, Xu Zhengyi, Tang Yimou, Yang Chao, and Liu Xiaoqing sat in their seats with a chill like they were stranded in the middle of a freezing blizzard. However, at the same time, it was like they were standing near a burning volcano that caused their bodies to sweat uncontrollably.

No one dares to look at the younger woman sitting at the main seat as their head lower and they could only stare at the table. Each person looked like they were at the police station and were currently being questioned on their crimes.

Compare to them, Yue Ling was as calm and collect as ever. It was as if she was not sitting in a conference room but was at home and enjoying her day off work.

Her bluish-green eyes swept across each individual until she stops at Guo Rong. A faint smile appears on her face and she softly chuckles.

"I have to admit, I am quite impressed with you all."

Hearing her sudden words, a small wave of relief wash over the six people. The tense air that lingered around them began to disperse and their stiffed shoulders relaxed a little.

However, that feeling didn't last for long when Yue Ling's angelic voice sounds again.

"Impressed how you all have breached the contract you signed."

"…."

She kept a very subtle smile and lifts her right hand. Gesturing a small signal to her three subordinates standing behind her, she didn't need to voice her instruction as they knew what to do.

Liu Shan picks up three black folders on the table and walks towards the individuals on his side. He places one folder in front of Liu Xiaoqing then does the same to Xu Zhengyi and Tang Yimou.

On the opposite side of him, Lian Ni Shang's movements were no different. She started with Guo Rong then Yang Chao and ended at Ge You.

The assistant and subordinate then return to stand behind Yue Ling with a cold gaze staring at each person.

Seeing the confused look on everyone's faces, Yue Ling chuckles a smile. She leans back on her chair and crosses her arms over her chest.

"The folder in front of you is the proof of your failure to perform and cross the line of your part of the contract."

Hearing these words from her, all six people were struck speechless as their body froze again like the Pokémon Articuno had flown inside the room and launches an attack on them. One by one, their trembling hands reach for the folder and slowly opens it.

Inside the was not only the contract they sighed when they first joined An Qing, but there were also other details of what they had been doing. From what they failed to do to how they abused their power. There were even photos of them taken from either up-close or at a distance.

"T-This…."

Xu Zhengyi was the first out of the six to regain his consciousness again. He is a 46-year-old man with slightly gray streaks of hair that can be seen on his head. He and frantically flips through each page inside his folder like he could not believe what he was reading.

"This is insane! Everything in here is a lie!"

He slams his fist on the table causing a loud bang and lifts his hand to point at Yue Ling. His entire being trembles with rage and he glares at her.

"You may be the CEO of De L'amour, but that does not give you authority to waltz into An Qing and claim the CEO position. How dare you slander us with these ridiculous fabrications to remove us from our positions?!"

He roars each word like he was a victim who had been wrong in court. However, deep inside, he was angry because everything inside the folder was true. Not only him, but the others felt the same.

"Textile Designer Xu is correct. Who do you think you are? How can you photoshop our faces into these photos? I have never met this woman nor have I ever stepped foot inside this restaurant!"

Yang Chao howls as he slams a photo onto the table. It was a photo of him hugging a woman half his age inside a restaurant. Even if it was him, he cannot admit it.

"All the information here is part of your evil plan to remove us like how you got rid of CEO Chen."

Each person suddenly flew into outrage when they found their courage to retaliate against Yue Ling. They cannot admit to this information because if they do, they will lose their high paying jobs and becomes the laugh of Imperial.

Tang Yimou loses the folder in front of him and slams his palm on top of it. His head flung to look at Yue Ling and he scoffs a sneer.

"CEO Han, I have been An Qing's Art Designer for many years now. I take pride in my work and only wish for the best for An Qing. Don't you think you are stepping out of line by doing this to us?"

Yue Ling was unfazed by the shouting voices thrown her way. She glances at each person like she was taking in their words, but in truth, every word that came out of their mouth only entered one ear and out the other.

She stares Tang Yimou for a long second as he was the last to speak. However, her gaze gradually shifts to the person who had first spoken.

"Xu Zhengyi."

Her sudden voice was not too loud, but it quickly quiets down the commotion that had taken place.

Usually, when it came to work, she would have formally addressed the other, but the people sitting at the table with her do not deserve her respect. Even if they were older and she has respect for her elders, she can care less about these people.

"As a textile designer, you are a very experienced person in the industry and one of the very few I had found very capable. However, I'm disappointed that the capability you have now was only reached when you constantly take someone else's credit for your advantage."

She slowly flutters her eyes and faintly smiles at the middle-aged man.

"Like how the materials De L'amour was supposed to obtain in Milan suddenly became acquired by An Qing."

The colors on Xu Zhengyi's face turned as white as a sheet of paper. His mouth opened agape like he wanted to say something, but it was like all the words he had come to known had been toss out of his brain.

He is indeed knowledgeable in the textile industry and others often seek him for advice. However, as he grew older, he was beginning to have difficulty keeping up with the changes in trends.

Due to this, he started to steal ideas from others who were not well known as him.

Just like the designs for the Fall Fashion Show. As De L'amour was always able to keep up with the trends, he sought out information from Ming Yue. He then came up with the idea for Chen Limei to snatch the materials in Milan before De L'amour could.

However, other than Chen Limei, he didn't tell this plan to anyone, so how did Yue Ling find out?
